I'll keep a somewhat open mind about it however. It would be useful, if it isn't a totally frustrating kludge. And, they allow for the complete uninstallation of it from WinMo. (yeah.. I know.. not being realistic there.)]]>Sep 1st 2008 6:05PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/
In fact any software you can come up with that has to maintain a library of hundreds to thousands (to tens of thousands) of songs, and then manage possibly hundreds of videos and pictures is going to consume system resources. Its a database, and databases are hungry.

Then there's the inherent CPU hunger that is a result of video decoding or even mp3 decoding.

They need to separate the Zune software player from the software library database and let you manage your songs and build playlists in the library, and just play individual songs/albums/or playlists in the player. System resources are saved as is battery life.]]>Sep 1st 2008 1:13PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/
Apparently you never used iTunes before. And if that is really your system spec then most programs should run smoothly. I think you got something in there that is slowing your system down dude.]]>Sep 1st 2008 1:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/
Windows Media Player and the Zune software both seem to be able to catalog the music just fine. I don't know what type of resource consumption I am experiencing, but the system has worked well enough such that it has never been a concern. ]]>Sep 1st 2008 6:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/Sep 1st 2008 9:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/Like Come On How Things Are You Going To Copy

Microsoft Get A Life and Stop Copying]]>Sep 1st 2008 2:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/31/microsoft-job-listing-hints-at-app-store-like-skymarket-for-wi/
While you're figuring out how to do that, uncouple the round fruit from your puckered ass. Apple was not the first to create anything. Not a PC, not a mp3 player, not an OS, not a phone, not a PDA....nothing (except a disgusting army of lunatic fanboys). Microsoft is simply competing with Apple, something they have not had to work very hard at until recently (read: iPod/iTunes etc). I for one find it a good thing that Microsoft is being forced to put some effort into some (hopefully) real innovation!]]>Sep 2nd 2008 11:51AM
